This Reuben Bake is a warm, layered twist on the classic deli sandwich, packed with savory corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing — all wrapped in buttery crescent dough and baked until golden and bubbly.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 68 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
  • ½ cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 lb sliced deli corned beef
  • 1½ cups sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Press one can of crescent dough into the bottom of the pan. Pinch seams to seal.
  3. Bake bottom crust for 8–9 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. Spread dressing over crust. Layer corned beef, sauerkraut, and then cheese.
  5. Top with second crescent dough layer. Pinch seams and edges to seal.
  6. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with caraway seeds if using.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25–28 minutes until top is golden and filling is bubbly.
  8. Let rest 5 minutes. Slice, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure sauerkraut is well drained to prevent sogginess.
  • You can use sliced Swiss instead of shredded, just ensure even coverage.
  • To reheat, bake leftovers in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes until crisp.
